一个夜晚，两对年轻情侣为逃避烦恼跑进了一座魔幻森林。然而这四个人并没有意识到，森林里满是热爱恶作剧的仙人与小妖精。当仙王 Oberon 及其忠诚的妖精仆从 Puck 介入凡人事务时，这几对年轻人的命运发生了离奇而令人捧腹的转变。犹如一则经典童话，这部对 William Shakespeare 最受欢迎喜剧的改编之作，既适合从中能发现诸多珍品的年长读者，也极适合热衷于听人朗读故事的年轻读者。

我们发现本地有个剧团每年夏天都会在公园演莎士比亚。我们儿子大概 12 岁那年，我们带他去看了几场戏，其中就有《仲夏夜之梦》，他那年刚好在课上排演过这出。看到舞台上那些专业演员的演绎，莎士比亚的魅力瞬间在他脑子里“通”了，其实对我也是。后来我们大概看了 10 来个不同版本的……
We found a local group that does Shakespeare in the park every summer. When our son was about 12, we took him to a couple shows including A Midsummer Night's Dream which he had acted out in class that year. Seeing it on stage, with actors who know what they are doing, made Shakespeare "click" for him and really for me too. We've probably seen about 10 different…
……有人提到这玩意儿本质上就是《哈姆雷特》，一旦你意识到哪个电影角色对应哪个莎翁角色，你就再也回不去了。这些年来看过好几个版本的《仲夏夜之梦》改编，每次看都觉得乐子拉满。
…somebody mentioned that it's basically Hamlet and you can't unsee it once you realize which movie character is matched to which Shakespeare character. Over the years I've been to several adaptations of A Midsummer Night's Dream and it was a ton of fun every single time.
我高中最喜欢的老师之一，当年特意把《仲夏夜之梦》里每一个带颜色的荤段子都扒开细讲；自然而然地，他成了我遇到过最好的英语老师之一。结果到了学年末，学校把他给开了。
One of my favorite high school teachers took the time to explain each and every dirty joke in A Midsummer Night's Dream; he was, consequently, one of the best English teachers I ever had. By the end of the year, the school fired him.
莎士比亚和罗伯特·彭斯都被高中教学给彻底毁了。讽刺的是，我后来是陪儿子看了一部电影版，才真正喜欢上《仲夏夜之梦》的，他当时正好在学校排这部戏。
Shakespeare and Robert Burns were both blighted for me by being inflicted at high school. Ironically I found that I really like A Midsummer Night's Dream by watching a movie version with my son who was performing in it at school.
……故事是不是有点荒诞？确实。它是不是也让人领略到了英语这门语言的奇妙魅力？绝对是！所有人都会像我一样为语言着迷吗？那肯定不会。我记得七年级读《仲夏夜之梦》时，我们用的书左页是剧本，右页是给现代读者写的注释。我觉得这种排版特别棒，直接降低了阅读门槛。尤其是对一个初一……
…stories a little ridiculous? Certainly. Is it also a fascinating glimpse into English as a language? Absolutely! Does everyone delight in language as much as I do? Of course not. I remember reading A Midsummer Night's Dream in 7th grade and the book we used having the play on the left page, and notes for the modern reader on the right page. I found that to be a great way of making the text accessible. Especially as a seventh…
我高中读《仲夏夜之梦》也是这种体验——故事我是看得懂，但硬着头皮啃完真的像在坐牢，完全没 get 到它到底牛在哪。直到最近看了一场真正的现场演出，……
I had the same experience reading A Midsummer Night's Dream in high school -- I could follow the story, but it was a slog to get through and I didn't understand what was supposed to be so great about it. Then I saw an actual performance of the play recently,…
